With a vocal range over 4 octaves, CSUN Alumnus Serj Tankian is considered one of the greatest vocalists in Metal history and best known for fronting the popular band System Of A Down. Now, the songwriter, poet, painter, producer, and political activist returns to The Soraya to perform vocals on his new suite of compositions, Invocations— music that calls on spirits to co-inspire or inter inspire. Spanning over a decade of his career from different sources and backgrounds, this is music that plays on the deepest heart strings of the listener at a tempo that sets the heart to rest and the spirit to wander. Sonically, Tankian’s new work is symphonic, cinematic, and emotive and will bring the CSUN Symphony, ethnic instrumentalists, and a variety of vocalists together on stage.
